Church Ages - Are the Last Two Combined?

Sometimes, based
on the research, more than one possibility appears to support the presentation
within the WindowView.

So, we think it
fair to note — for example — that there are those who would say that
some aspects of the Missionary Age (the 6th Church Age) continue in time even
to the latter days on the current time line. This would put the characteristics
of the second to last Church Age well into and perhaps to the end of the 7th
(Apostate) Church Age. You might even find diagrams — as we have —
that in fact overlay the last two ages as if to occur simultaneously.

Undoubtedly, some
elements of all seven Church Ages are present at all times. Missionary work
may well continue into the present day — but on what scale... realistically
far less than before. But overall, the character of tolerance, focusing more
on social than on spiritual issues, and seeking political correctness can be
observed in print (i.e., the popular media reports) and in the activities of
many current day congregations. We see that some Jewish and Christian groups
have openly embraced elements of secular humanism — a tendency which certainly
leads away from acknowledging and embracing the God of Israel.

We
ask you to consider that the characteristics for each age apply to only a specific
segment of time. Further, think about how the apostate position weakens the
spiritual core of the faith community — i.e., believers in Messiah —
in the global sphere over all. Yes, there are large councils and global church
meetings of all sorts in this time, but upon close examination one can recognize
that the traits of the last Church Age predominate — if not in the foreground,
certainly as a presence in the background. We bring this to your attention because
its a relevant part of the view today... and thus has something to do with what's
ahead of us on the time line.

Web (Internet): Occasionally
we find what appear as reliable, but formally unpublished, sources on the Internet. As such these entries remain to be fully confirmed. In many cases this information is found to agree with the remainder of the timeline and the published sources used here.
